Squeeze – Heaven Knows lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)
Album version

You're no Dame, I'm no Duke
Somehow love is a fluke
We've survived thick and thin
Taking knocks on the chin
In the eyes of the sad
We may be barking mad
But the truth has been ceased
We are like chalk and cheese
You wind me up and I drive you mad
It's a fact of life, it goes hand in hand
And I know that look, it's read like a book
And I realize

I don't care what the world has to say
You should know that I love you
I love you
I love you today

When the boat starts to rock
Then my ears start to block
All the words that you say
Through the night, through the day
Where there's muck there is brass
And the storm soon will pass
Then it's back to the norm
All the cold turns to warm

Sometimes I think life crawls like a snail
And all of our dreams become the wind in your sails
Without wealth it's true, who cares what you do
And I realize

I can feel the eyes behind us as we walk
I can see the ears that listen when we talk

You're no work of art
But then nor am I
Together in the frame
We're here you and I
In this happy home
Life is set in stone
That can melt like ice
I don't care what the world has to say
You should know that I love you
I love you today

We can't agree
The boat starts to rock
I complain when it rains
And you when it's hot
What was black is white
What was day is night
And what is is not

I can feel the eyes behind us as we walk
I can see the ears that listen when we talk
